I did not bring you into this world, but I slept on my belly.
It was not necessary to nurse you because I fed you with my love every day.
I didn't change your diapers, but I did pick up your p**p with a baggie. I didn't calm your crying with a pacifier, but I gave you security when fear made you tremble and you ran into my arms.
I didn't take you on the swings, but we spent hours in the park together.
I don't protect you from bullying, but if someone growls or attacks you, I defend you tooth and nail against anyone.
I don't teach you to write and draw, but I teach you to be polite.
I challenge you, punish you and forgive you like a father.
I miss you when I do not see you.
I take you everywhere with me, and I think of you as a son. At night I wake up to see if you sleep next to me, I look at you and caress you.
You do not have my blood, but between the two there is a unique bond.
Happy day to the people who take care of our pets like a son who does not speak, but who tells us I love you with his eyes.
Happy day to all the people who love their pets with parental love.”
